Title:
  Initialization leaks file descriptors to /prox/self/auxv

Bug description:
  [impact]
  In precise only, an Ubuntu-specific patch (FixLibraryStartup.patch) causes 
/proc/self/auxv to be opened on library initialization, but the file is never 
closed.  For long running processes that periodically re-initialize the library 
(Firefox's plugin-container loading the VLC plugin for me), this leads to the 
available file descriptors being exhausted.

  This also causes
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1177684.

  [test case]
  Fresh and clean Ubuntu Precise 12.04.2 install

  # apt-get install apache2-mpm-itk libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd

  Restart Apache to ensure gd.so is loaded

  # for pid in `pidof apache2`; do find /proc/$pid/fd -ls; done | awk '/auxv/ 
{print $11" "$12" "$13}'
  # apache2ctl graceful
  # for pid in `pidof apache2`; do find /proc/$pid/fd -ls; done | awk '/auxv/ 
{print $11" "$12" "$13}'
  # apache2ctl graceful
  # for pid in `pidof apache2`; do find /proc/$pid/fd -ls; done | awk '/auxv/ 
{print $11" "$12" "$13}'
  .. etc

  [regression potential]
  This affects patch designed for ARM. Although all it does it properly close 
the file descriptor, I have not specifically tested it on ARM.
